As the trailer for Wes Andersons new film The Grand Budapest Hotel is released, Reds entertainment director Rosamund Dean reveals why she loves the super stylish filmmaker.

Wes Anderson has his critics: those that claim he is all style over substance. But frankly, with this much style, who needs substance? Here are my top five reasons to love him…

Gwyneth Paltrow is all eyeliner, fur coat and cigarettes as Margot Tenenbaum, the misunderstood genius who broke Bill Murray’s heart in The Royal Tenenbaums. Still her coolest role ever.

The Darjeeling Limited

Not many filmmakers could convince Louis Vuitton to create a one-off collection of monogrammed luggage for a fictional character (the late father of the brothers played by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman), as Anderson did in the gorgeous The Darjeeling Limited.

Fantastic Mr Fox, Wes Anderson

Anderson reimagines Roald Dahl classic Fantastic Mr Fox with George Clooney as the voice of a stop-motion animated ‘urbane fox’ in the middle of an existential crisis. Utterly inspired.

Suzy and Sam in Moonrise Kingdom

In Moonrise Kingdom, 12-year-old runaways Suzy and Sam have the kind of romance you only find in Wes Anderson films. They write each other letters, pierce each other’s ears and dance to old French records in their underwear on the beach. Dreamy.
